Jennifer's 365 Project

We took a walk to the nearby nature trail and explored things on my lunch break.
 

We spent some time outside in the snow. He built this while I was clearing some buildup at the base of the driveway.
I also took the car out for a drive and he asked if we could go to a park. We stopped at Heritage park to see the ducks. There are still so many! They cam running over hoping we had food for them.
And this is how we ended our day. Batman, posing on our bed, ready to fight crime.
 

We played some in person Animal Crossing this afternono with stuffed animals and shops we created.
then we played a bit of the video game together.
 

It's New Year's Day! We did a video call with Nicholas and did our Christmas gift exchange with the kids.
They had a really good time chatting and, honestly, playing with their new toys. I think they both enjoyed what they got and it was a really good time for them both.

It's New Year's Eve!
We chatted with the grandparents for a bit and played some Animal Crossing with Uncle Jeff and Grandpa.
As the evening continued, we started to prepare for the strike of midnight.
Chris even made some 2021 glasses on the 3D printer.
We made it all the way to midnight and celebrated together in game (Chris watched us since he doesn't play).

We have finally reached the point where silence doesn't necessarily mean he's gotten into something he shouldn't. He's really enjoying my old Calvin and Hobbes books.
 

We played a bith of Minecraft with Uncle Jeff today.
 

Enjoyed some Stardew Valley today.
 

 Another day of LEGO set assembly

He's absolutely loving this creeper plushie.
So much that while we were playing Minecraft together he unleashed a ton of creepers in our creative realm that we share with Uncle Jeff.
In the evening we had a tea party with the creeper and skeleton. The table is made of the Millennium Falcon.
And of course we had to set the proper lighting for our party together.
 

It's Christmas Day! He had to bring his new stuffed animals with him into our room to get us up.
He was very pleased that today is another day of gift opening!
Lots of packages to open and toys to play with.
And of course lego sets to assemble!
Plus books to read in bed. He's doing a really great job reading and immediately started to read one of the Hilda graphic novels once he settled into bed.
 

We celebrated Christmas eve a little differently this year - all virtual. We set up the tablet in the living room near the tree and let Quinn open gifts with Grandma Karath.
